More About the Slice Mini Cutter

What Is a Mini Cutter Used For? Is This a Mini Box Cutter?

The Slice Mini Cutter is a versatile miniature ceramic blade pocket knife that can function as a small box cutter or mini utility knife. It can handle the same materials as a safety box cutter and a few more, such as: wire mesh, yarn, rubber hose and sealant. The Mini Cutter is a popular household tool for opening a variety of packaging materials, including hard clamshell plastic. It’s equally useful in industrial settings as a multi-purpose tool that lasts, on average, 11.2 times longer than an equivalent steel blade.

What is the best pocket knife for me?

The best pocket knife for you will depend on your needs. First, make sure that any pocket knife is actually safe to carry in your pocket. This means the blade must fully retract when the tool is not in use.

Next, look at the depth of the cut you require and make sure that your knife can handle it. As a general safety principle, you should never expose more blade than you need to do the job. This reduces the chance of injuries and damaged materials (especially when opening packaging). The third consideration is handle shape and size, and this depends largely on personal preference. Slice’s Mini Cutter works as a handy ceramic pocket knife that can handle most materials, including clamshell packaging and double-walled corrugated.

How Do I Replace the Blade in the Mini Cutter?

This is one of many areas where Slice improves on the safety of typical steel knives, including mini box cutters. When you look up how to put a blade in a box cutter, you’ll see a nightmarish list of options including complex multi-step processes and dangerous snap-off blades. The Slice Mini Cutter’s no-tool blade change is straightforward. Simply turn the lock mechanism counter-clockwise and lift off the back of the housing. Pull the blade out and either flip it over for a fresh edge or put in a new blade, ensuring that the notches in the blade and housing line up. Replace the backing and turn the mechanism clockwise into a locked position.
